The first episode explores the American Serengeti, where early settlers of Montana hunted Caribou and Mammoths while avoiding predators like Smilodon and Short-Faced Bear. The second episode travels back 65,000 years to Australia, a land of lush forests, megafauna like Diprotodon, and giant reptiles and birds. Ancient Aborigines navigated this strange world of giant marsupials and reptiles. The final episode jumps to the 1200s, following the Maori as they settle in New Zealand, where they hunted Giant Moa, but ultimately drove them to extinction, along with the Haast's Eagle. The episode concludes with the devastating impact of human settlement on Hawaii and Easter Island.
